    As far as the jones type thoughts people are having that is kind of rational on its own way considering what typically happens when disaster strikes with Republicans in high office. 

    I mean this is a perfect excuse to weaponize the government and crack down on freedom ala 9/11.  A crackdown on political violence could very well become any speech that is critical of the current regime,maga, Christian nationalism etc...with a list of terrorist organizations that would basically encompass  anything being considered the left.  I'm expecting this is going to be used to try to wreak havoc on freedom of speech.  

    I don't think it was a false flag but I think this will be used to try to bring down some more iron fist authoritarianism.
    Check out the UK and Palestine Action. Not far fetched.
    Yes that is exactly what I had in mind when I posted.

    trump sounds like he stayed up all night...and, as usual, sounds like he's reading his speech for the first time

    I can't think of a time this country was worse off in my lifetime then right now under this garbage human being of a president who sows division and hatred deep. We can't overcome this if the leaders we elect stoke more division and people lap it up as truth.

    Where is a poll to measure how the average American feels right now because most people I know aren't doing well emotionally and feeling the strains financially.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    trump is fiddling while the country burns. giving out medals of freedom like candy. tweeting memes and calling it "working hard".

    this country elected him twice. we deserve whatever happens now.

    Honest question: I often see magats claiming they are thriving under trump. When the stats simply don’t bear that out for anyone other than high incomers, I usually brush it off as bots/bullshit/ cultists. Are there any groups/industries other than the top percenters where this could be true, or is it all mostly bullshit? (Obviously these people never divulge their details)

    All I know is gas is $4/gal at the station around the corner and I'm not seeing any "I did that" stickers. Now it's the sign of a thriving economy, I guess.

    I tend to use my sister and brother in law as examples of maga life.

    My nephew (they're son...32 years old) is deep maga. The last two times I have seen him he has been wearing a trump shirt. Kind of pathetic but whatever.

    He has a medical marijuana card for Ohio...nothing wrong with that, he uses it for anxiety.

    He had a job at a great local factory and "pointed out" meaning he got too many points against him for being late, not showing up, bad job performance, etc.  He then got another job at a better local factory, decided to take FMLA time off (I think due to the death of his grandfather) and once that time was used up he just didn't show back up.  He still lives at home.

    This coming from a family that spews the true GOP mantras of hard work, not sucking off the gov't, etc.

    Just within the past month, three locally owned businesses/restaurants in their town have closed. This is in a county of Ohio that I'm pretty sure had the highest % of the population voting for trump.

    Makes no fucking sense

    Yes that is exactly what I had in mind when I posted.

    Speech? Is that meant to be truthful or honest?  LMAO


    ” The UK government cited extensive property damage, intimidation of public and employees, and acts of violence as evidence for proscribing Palestine Action. This included hundreds of instances of criminal damage, such as the destruction of jets at RAF Brize Norton, and activities with a terrorism connection, like those leading to charges of bodily harm. The Joint Terrorism Assessment Centre (JTAC) also provided an assessment that the group had moved from protest to sabotage, crossing a threshold for proscription. 
    Key Evidence Cited by the UK Government
    • Property Damage:
      • Palestine Action was linked to hundreds of incidents of significant property damage, with actions aimed at progressing its political cause. 
    • The group caused millions of pounds worth of damage to property, including an estimated £7 million in damage to jets at RAF Brize Norton.

    Yes honest. One can be jailed in Britain for saying I support Palestine action.  That is not free speech.  
    If you look in depth to the terrorism allegations most are on the level of green peace or peta. Which last I checked though a little extreme are hardly terrorist organizations.  Of course ai isnt  going to get into the details so I’m not surprised you missed out on that.
